In this explosive conversation, Carl Zha joins Rasheed Muhammad to examine the growing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, while exploring the larger geopolitical struggle between Washington, Beijing, and the emerging multipolar world.

They discuss the alleged Trump-Netanyahu fallout, the ongoing Iran conflict, China's energy security strategy, the decline of U.S. economic dominance, America's mounting debt crisis, the AI investment bubble, de-dollarization, and why many nations are reducing their dependence on the U.S. financial system.

Carl argues that the current crisis exposes deeper structural problems within the American political and economic system while highlighting how China has spent decades preparing for a world defined by energy competition, technological rivalry, and shifting global power.
